Has anyone else had this problem besides me? I've been using the DFT roms and each time I flash to a newer one I lose some space. Right now my 8gb Mozart is left with 5.87 gb of Free Space and 804 mb of reserved space. This is after a fresh flash.
yes i've experienced the same, at the moment im on DFT v1.
Thinking of going back to OEM rom
Damn... Is there any way to get more space?
@gracemillian:
Yes, for my part, my mozart has 32gb of storage . There's a tutorial which explain how to change the microsd card inside the phone but it's quite risky!!
Thanks, I will try that. Now I just need a cheap 32 gb microSD Card, lol.
it's not risky! you just need steady hands and patience. And a card that will work.
Try SanDisk Class 4 32 GB cards. They seem to work. (look for the code SDSDQ-032G-B35 on the back of the card cover)
There's a discussion about cards on xda somewhere.
Don't just blindly get higher class cards thinking they'll work faster. They won't. In fact, choosing the right card is the most risky part of this whole exercise. And definitely don't get the cheapest card. The way wp7 maps storage, you'll end up with super slow everything.
best of luck!
Hmmm, is class 4 recommended? I've read the thread about the 'surgery' as well. I believe class 4 equates to 4mb read/write (CMIIW), will performance be affected? :/

Hi Guys!
I have 8525 and i need some INFO about this phone i just got it so i need to buy a memory card which one does 8525 support? and how many GB can support??
Thanks
It supports the Micro SD card. Do not confuse with the Mini SD, Micro SD is the real small one. I think it can take up to 2 GB. (Don't hold me to the size.)
I use a "SunDisk" Micro SD 2GB card and it`s work preety fine.

It depends on if the phone has WM5 or 6.
Last I read, WM6 has support for SHDC cards, which have a limit of 32 gig per the spec. If you have WM5 on the phone, you are stuck with a standard SD, which is limited to 2 gig by the spec.
However, you might be able to find a 4 gig non-SDHC. I don't know if they exist in microSD formats, but I have a standard size SD card that is 4 gig.
Used it in my Blue Angel. Worked fine, if not a bit slow (data transfer was faster when I had it divided into a pair of 2 gig 'cards'. Think this was due to the overhead of a fat32 filesystem).
My hermes came with WM6 and is working perfectly with the 4gig sandisk I picked up over the weekend.
I have a 8gig sdhc card in mine with schaps newest rom. I cant wait for my 16 I just hope its supported

It should be. Spec is good for up to 32 gig.
...and after a quick google to verify, it looks like Toshiba and Sandisk both have announced 32gig cards. That didn't take long. Of course, I have a 4 gig non-SDHC SD card, so if someone 'extends' the spec officially with new access modes, or makes a card that is not quite SDHC spec, they may be able to release larger sizes without hardware/software upgrades for existing devices.
BTW, if you don't mind me asking, what do you have on that machine that you need a 16 gig card?
Heck, I'm using just a shade over 330 meg, and got the 4 gig card only because it was a good deal.
I'm planning to get a microSDhc card for my Jade (HTC Touch 3g).
Can you guys please advice will there is any difference in performance, response time and speed between 4GB microSDhc and 8GB microSDhc.
For the timebeing, I'm using mere 1GB micro SD card and its works great.
I know that both works with Jade, but how about the response time? I'm surely looking for bigger space, but not at the cost of speed and response time.
Thanks!!

I've been using 8GB since the beginning. When I compare the performance of my jade with a friend's who is using the "gift" micro SD card, which I presume is 1GB, I don't see a difference in speed or response time. With 8GB, you can afford to be lazy and not clean up the storage card for a while!

I'm planning to have my most of the programs/appilcations on the storage card, so was wondering about the response time.
On HTC site, they said they have tested 8GB, but didn't mention about the performance.
http://www.htc.com/in/faqs.aspx?p_id...0&id=85794&f=t
But, the salesman at the store said 8GB will make ur device slow, which I didn't want for more space. He was advicing for 4GB.
Have you installed programs/applications on the Storage card?
And is the reponse of those program on SD are marginally slower as compare to similiar application on device memory?
Even I'm looking to bigger space, it helps a lazy person like me to clean the storage after long long time, but at the cost of response time and stability.
All of my third party software are installed on the storage card. When I open most of them, the time taken is about the same as the default programs, give or take a second for the others. You shouldn't listen to sales people. I was told there were problems with 4GB SD.

I use a 6GB card, nothign wrong Wish mine was 8, but I can't justify buying a new one for an extra 2GB.
I'm not sure if it supports 16gb but I may buy one of those if it's available and if its compatible, which I have no idea lol
I'm using a cheapest 16 GB and don't see any deference at all comparing to 1GB card.
Correct me if i wrong, but i think you won't be able to notice the performance decrease unless you using a high-res/fast Digital camera?
Card touch 3g
Touch 3g with ROM 6.5, have been support 32GB microSD..!
Taking delivery of my phone soon.
What's the latest on microSD cards?
Are 32GB worth it? Do they work?
Any particular minimum Class I should get, even if I have to get 16GB?
Thanks

am using class 6 works fine.
I use an 8Gb, class 4 without any issues. Resco is installed on the card.
Although if your going to flash a ROM from a micro SD card use one < 8Gb.
Thanks,

From my experience, it's not the class or size that matters. It's the make. (Obviously a smaller card with a higher class will have faster r/w speeds, but that's not usually a noticeable issue.)
I never buy any SD cards now that are not SanDisk, and I can't remember the last time I had one that didn't work.
Some brands seem to get a lot of complaints.
The class wouldn't really matter if you're just using it to store data/apps.
I use a Nokia N900 and run Android off the SD card. A higher class gives a better speed when running an O/S off of one. But using one to store data/apps wouldn't give a noticable advantage of one class than another.
Obviously the size does matter but depends on what you'll use it for.
Plus for flashing use < 8Gb.
Thanks,
Al
PS. I agree with the brands. I don't buy cheap non-branded ones. Although I've never had an issue with any of the 'cheap' ones.
The size of the card depends on your needs. If you cram a lot of stuff in there or apps, then aim for 16gb or 32gb.
You can find 32gb on amazon from $70 up (sandisk, kingston, dane elec -- those are deem legit 32gb cards) and most of them should give real class 4 performance (even when they're listed as class 2 like sandisk).
For me I like San Disk,but I want to test Toshiba 16GB Class4.The seller told me that Toshiba quality is good also and I decided to buy it.
Never had any problem with file transfer and running android on SD card.
I've used it 4 months now.So far so good.
I use a kingston 8gb class 4.. Never had any issues with performance
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I'll probably run Android off the card initially with the standard WM 6.5 tweaked. Maybe put some SatNav on there too.
As for Apps depends what I come across. For WM I have an old large build of offline Wikipedia and some dictionaries etc.

I had my 8GB SanDisk in my G1 for 2 years, then my HD2 for about 8 months, then randomly one day it stopped working.
If I plugged it in, all of my content appeared on the phone such as pictures. Then after about 30 seconds it would freeze, and then the phone would say no SD card is inserted. I managed to copy all of my pictures across on the PC luckily before it froze.
Granted it was old - but they do fail after a while.
The manual states 32GB microSD should be used. How much do I need for rooting the gtablet? If 4 or 8GB microSD is enough will it work right? What is the best brand?
Thanks!
That's a good question, I had wondered that myself. I figured I would pick up a 16 gig for storage, and smaller / cheaper ones for backing up and switching out ROMS. If 4's would work in general that would be great (and dirt cheap).
Anyone more experienced in this area care to chime in with their experiences?
Thanks!
Up to 32GB sized cards can be used.
Grab any size you like.
Try to grab on of at least Class 6 rating or better. The higher the class number the faster the card is.
Is 4 or 8GB big enough for rooting?
Yes, consider the card as used only for media storage like music or movies, book etc, you wll need it only when you manage to fill the internal 16gb
So if you need only to root even 2 gb is plenty

Thanks! That's what I needed to know. I think I have a 2 gig from an old BBerry in the drawer at home.
You really don't need a card to root at all.
Get ADB setup properly to your PC and you can transfer all the files you need straight to internal memory (which will show up as /sdcard).
good point! depend on how you like to spend your friday night I guess
I have a 16 GB with about 4 GB space left, can I use it without erasing the stuff I saved on it?
Thanks
Going from a 2 gig SD to an 8 gig SD..
Is it as simple enough that i just make a copy of ALL the stuff on the original SD and copy it to the new one?
/EDIT- is anyone running an 8 gig SD with no problems, i heard its gotta be a class 6 or ill get unmounting problems?
If you don't use an ext partition just copy and paste your files.

dont buy class 4 sd card of any size. class 4 cards dont work with optimus one. they will keep unmounting. any other class or size card will work. aka class 2,6,10
the class of the card is determined by the clad number depicted on the card itself. a class 2 card will have the digit 2 written inside a small circle. same way with all other classes.
higher class means faster operation and probably more cost.

Since I keep seeing vagueness wrt exactly what the class rating of an SDHC card means, I'll spell it out:
Class X: guarantees MINIMUM write through put of X MB/s period nothing more nothing less.
i.e. read speeds can be anything as they're not mentioned by spec, latency can be anything again as not mentioned by spec, etc.
In the pre-SDHC days the VERY best uSD cards were those made in Japan by Toshiba(only manufacturer of uSD cards in Japan, might be re-badged but made in Japan is the giveaway). They maintained good read/write throughput and relatively low latency even when full. (All of those numbers tended to decrease as a uSD card became more filled.)
Made in Taiwan were next up. Passable, but no where near as good as Japanese.
Made in China bottom of the heap. I'd really only recommend using them if you had no other choice. Or could get by with R/W throughputs and latencies that were relatively poor and got much worse as the card became filled.
Also note there DOES exist a fairly rare pre-SDHC 4GB uSD card. I've never seen one personally but I know that they exist. Most were 128MB - 2GB.
Not sure if this still applies with SDHC as the controller electronics were changed and the min. write throughput spec added (mostly for video recording!).
All of this said I've got a PNY class 4 4GB uSD card that I'll have to try. The card is badged as PNY so I'm not certain who the mfg actually is. I'll see if I can't dig it up later IF it actually works correctly. (Only bought some of these since a b&m store actually had them at a close to decent price of $10 and they were suitable for my other devices.)
OK :|
Mass confusion now, i dont use a custom rom, so i dont need a partion, sweet will just copy across, im using a class 4 card now and its working fine so not sure what class to get, i thought it was just a problem with this fone that happened to ALL classes.

I have a class 10 sd card, but its made in china and its very low quality.. The read and write speeds are totally unpredictable. Sometimes i get read speeds of 20Mbps, but other times, i get 2-3Mbps. It is these kind of low quality cards that you must avoid. Good quality Class 4s will not cause an unmount.
Eg: Sandisk Ultra (Class 4) are way faster than Transcend (class 4)
(From what i have seen personally)
One more thing, it was reported that Android 2.2.2 fixed the unmount problem. So, incase you experience unmounts, you can even try using a 2.2.2 ROM.
I have class 6 transcenfld and it's super fast. Around 11 mb write and 20 read.

I think if u can find a 8GB class 4 Patriot microSD card... just get it... i'm using it and no problem at all... stay away from A-Data or Kingston cards... most of people that having unmounting problems using these cards.
PS. this problem exists just in Froyo when u partition your card to install programs on SD. if u don't wanna use this feature... or if u wanna use Mik's Gingerbread... take any microSD you want. but if u wanna use this feature i think Patriot Card would be better.
I use a Sandisk 4 GB class 4 card and still have unmount problems.
simple copy past is not working if you are using app2sd.
if u copy and paste u will have to reinstall all the apps but the data will be ok try titanium backup (did not tested titanium, but fkd up everything when i tried with copy and paste )
